It's interesting as it links Bible and Biology, specifically Genetics, together.
Watch here:
Nevertheless, there are things that i agree and disagree.
It's a great thing that the scientific methods are so advanced to be used to trace and prove that all humankind are from the same super ancestor.
What does this means to us?
It matches what bible said, all of us come from the same ancestor.
And the word "Adam" in Hebrew means "all people". I just knew that the name does make sense.
And Adam is an African. (Wow, i never know that!)
The video also mentioned about King Solomon. People of a country named Ethiopia claimed that they are the descendants of King Solomon. Here i also found an interesting discovery. What we know from bible is that there was a Queen from Ethiopia named Queen of Sheba or Makeda who visited King Solomon for his famed wisdom. From wikipedia there are detailed story about how King Solomon tricked Queen of Sheba into sleeping with him, resulting in a child, Ebn Melek (later Emperor Menelik I).....

The thing that i disagree is that when finally the genetic result showed in common ancestry of all humankind, the video producer (and scientists) hypothesized it as among the ancient people, only Adam can pass on his gene through his offspring while the other people cannot pass on because they did not have offspring, rather then accepting the fact that at the beginning, God only created a pair of human, who were Adam and Eve.
Isn't it much more logic that all the people on the Earth now have the same ancestors (Adam and EVe) because the ancestors are the only people that been created by the God, rather than saying that Adam and his wife was the only couple among the other ancient people who succeed to pass on their gene through their offspring?
And another thing is that those scientists still hold to the Darwinism hypothesis (note, it's only a hypothesis, not a theory!) . They still believed that human evolved from monkeys! See how they explain ---" in the evolution from monkey to human, Adam is the first human to have thinking".
This means that they accept Adam as the common ancestor, but they believed that Adam evolved from monkey, and there were many monkey-evolved humans like Adam who failed to pass down their genes because they had no offspring.
Nevertheless, the discovery of the common ancestry is still a good effort and stepping stone in scientific world.
As the science and technology becoming more and more advanced, we will find more and more that the God and the Bible is really real.
In Physics world also, when Stephen Hopkins discovered new formula and facts about the Black Hole, he admitted the presence of God.
* "Adam" = "all people" in Hebrew give more sense to
Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—".
Today, i know Bible better through science.
